A New Era of Two Legacies, One Future School of Medicine

New Jersey Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School are preparing for full Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accreditation to create the Rutgers School of Medicine. As we work to integrate these two historic campuses, we're building a stronger medical education program well-equipped to meet the challenges of the future.

With an anticipated accreditation in 2027, the future Rutgers School of Medicine is poised to be one of the largest medical schools in the nation and an unparalleled hub of biomedical and health sciences education, research, and care.
